Those terms have become known to mean the same thing. However, if you break it down - removable disk could be a hard drive, CD-Rom, USB Flash drive or any of the removable media. Now a removable Drive would be the Hard Drive and enclosure, the actual Modular Bays like CD-Rom Drives, Optical Drives in a modular format to be "Hot-Swappable."

I could be wrong but I think that when they mention "removable drive" they could be reffering to removable media drive instead. CD and DVD rom drives enters this category. There's also a possibility that a removable drive, is just an internal hard drive installed on mobile rack, those are so cheap these days...
Removable disk, that's a disk that could be removed from the system. As opposed to internal hard drives, a removable disk can be "taken out". Think about zip disk and the classical floppy disk and why not, CD, DVD. (correct me)

Removeable disk normally relates to a floppy disk drive or zip disk drive while removeable drive relates to a hard disk.
